(If you have a commuter pass, raise your hand!) ）

Feng Xuan said that his status was low, and even if he was effective, he would not be able to play a role, but in Han Qian's opinion, this was not the case.

In Xuchen, Shaoheng and other prefectures, the contradiction between the Turks and Hakka since the previous dynasty has been extremely serious, and the officials sent by the imperial court have also been rejected by the local Tu people as representatives of the interests of customers or guests. At the same time, because the local natives still practice the tribal system, their social structure is extremely closed, and in the past, officials in Xuchen and other places usually only took advantage of the contradictions between the big clans to carry out checks and balances, and grasped some initiative in the local area.

The central power is strong, and the local big surname tribes have a sense of awe, and this kind of check and balance is naturally effective, but at present, Tanzhou is still in a semi-independent situation, how can we expect the big surname tribes south and west of Tanzhou, and the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, how much awe does it have?

At this time, his father was in Xuzhou, and he still wanted to play with the checks and balances between the big clans, which was like playing with fire.

After all, there are only four clans with big surnames in Xuzhou, and they have contradictions with each other, but they are also deeply involved, and it is too easy to reach a consensus.

What's more, the power of the Ma family will come in behind him to make trouble, his father has no foundation in Xuzhou, why should he play with the four families in the palm of his hand?

A more effective means is to take advantage of the contradictions within the Shanyue tribe to disintegrate the big surname tribe.

Of course, this is easier said than done.

Feng Xuan seems to have a humble status, but he is suitable to be a broken anthill to disintegrate the big surname clan.

And even if it is a nail, nailed into the Shanyue people with serious xenophobia, the effect is much greater than Feng Xuan himself thought.

However, since Feng Xuan was willing to join the city at this time, Han Qian didn't explain too much to him, and immediately asked him to select four people who could be absolutely trusted, and rush back to the village to bring his family into the city.

No matter how ruthless Feng Changyu and Feng Jin are, it is impossible to destroy the villages of the same clan, but the wives and children of Feng Xuan and other key figures must be taken out, on the one hand, to prevent being harmed by Feng Changyu and Feng Jin, and on the other hand, to ensure that Feng Xuan jumps on their thief ship and never gets off again.

Of course, Han Qian would not fully trust Feng Xuan, and secretly sent the two of them to keep an eye on Feng Xuan's every move, just in case there was any convenience.

It will be late today to enter the city, everything in the Hibiscus Garden needs to be cleaned up, and in this case, the banquet must be prepared, so it is naturally in a hurry, and it will not be ready until an hour after nightfall.

Han Qian also had to get away from the banquet to socialize, in addition to observing with his father who seemed more impatient tonight, he also hoped to delay time, so that the scouts who scattered inside and outside the city could gather more useful information, so as to get a glimpse of what kind of murder Feng Xi had set against Yang Si.

The feast dragged on for an hour.

Although the wine used in the banquet was temporarily purchased from Xuzhou City, it was drunk by Xue Ruogu and other officials, and it was all spirits treated with quicklime in the backyard by Zhao Ting'er and them.

Although it was said that there was lime water dissolved in the wine, Han Qian thought it was really unpleasant, but some people suddenly drank it into their throats and felt that it had a different flavor.

Besides, none of the middle and low-level officials present tonight would find fault with Lord Shi, and they didn't know that Han Daoxun, Han Qian and the other people who accompanied the wine drank all the original low-alcohol wine, and they thought that they couldn't adapt to the spirits that Lord Shi brought from Jinling, so they drank intermittently for an hour, all of them were top-heavy, and they only felt that they couldn't drink enough.

At this time, Feng Xuan took his wife back to the city, and Han Qian left the table to see Feng Xuan.

In addition to his own wife and children, Feng Xuan also brought the wives and children of the four clan leaders into the city, but even if he was forced to make a choice, Feng Xuan still had a gloomy face in front of Han Qian, and he was indignant, and he didn't know what Han Qian was going to coerce him to do next.

At this time, Tian Cheng and Gao Shao walked in with serious faces, and Han Qian did not ask Feng Xuan and the others to avoid it, and asked directly: "Have you been in contact with our people in the city?" ”

"Everything that can be contacted in the city has been contacted, but except for the four family members in the city who withdrew last night, no other abnormalities have been found for the time being. However, the scouts who entered the city in advance of Zuo Si, and the three of them were mixed into the state prison, and they couldn't get in touch for the time being—without the permission of the young master, we sent all the scouts we could reach in the city to the vicinity of the state prison. Gao Shao said.

Han Daoxun was also worried about the progress of the matter, and at this time he called Fan Xicheng and Zhao Kuo to run over to inquire about the situation, they had just stepped into the courtyard, and when they heard the civet Gao Shao say this, their expressions also changed, and they asked in surprise: "The killing situation is in the state prison, and they want to condone the prisoners in the state prison to rob the prison and riot?" ”

"What a poisonous, bold and reckless plan!" Han Qian couldn't help but applaud, and sneered at the snarky Feng Xuan, "There should also be a lot of Shanyue civilians living in the city, I said that you are ants, don't you believe it?" ”

Fan Xicheng, Zhao Kuo, Gao Shao, Tian Cheng, and even Zhao Wuji, who was terrible in his youth, were all secretly frightened, if Zuo Si hadn't sent two groups of scouts to infiltrate Xuzhou more than a month in advance, and there were nearly thirty scouts in the later stage, who entered Qianyang City before them, they didn't want to think about the first arrival, and found that the four surnames dared to harbor such evil intentions.

"Is there such a thing as this, or is it all the young master you are guessing, how can you be serious?" Feng Xuan said stiffly.

"Give them a few armor and let them cry when they see the coffin." Han Qian glared at Feng Xuan, didn't think that he was really a strong bone, and motioned for Guo Nu'er to come over with five sets of armor, and put them on for Feng Xuan and the four of his subordinates first, and then act with them later, but Feng Xuan and the others' wives and children had to be detained in the Hibiscus Garden as hostages.

Then, Han Qian asked Gao Shao, Tian Cheng, Yang Qin and others to prepare here first; He first rushed to the West Courtyard with Fan Xicheng and Zhao Kuo to meet his father, who was still presiding over the banquet.

Xue Ruogu and the others were so drunk that they didn't notice the Teng Teng killing machine lurking inside and outside the Assassin's Mansion at all, and when they saw Han Qian and them going and returning, they didn't notice anything abnormal, and they thought that the new Assassin Shi was very approachable, and they were making a noise to ask Zhou Huanrui to sing a song "Bodhisattva Man" to help the wine.

Zhou Yourui came over at night with the musicians of the music camp, insisted on refusing to enter the table, and had been playing the piano and singing in front of the court to cheer up, at this time, seeing Han Qian, Fan Xicheng, and Zhao Kuo going and returning, wearing armor on their bodies, and walking in with a shoulder knife, her eyes swept towards everyone in the hall with an unusually sharp eye, and she was also shocked in her heart, and secretly said that something was really going to happen tonight.

Zhou Yourui picked up the pipa, sat in front of the court, plucked the strings with her slender jade fingers, and sang melodiously with her clear voice: "The hills overlap and the gold is extinguished, the temples and clouds want to be fragrant and snowy, lazy to draw moth eyebrows, late to make up and groom, look at the front and back mirrors of the flowers, the flowers reflect each other, the new post embroiders the robe, and the makeup and grooming ......are late."

Han Qian naturally had no intention of appreciating Zhou Yourui's beautiful singing voice, sat down beside his father, and quietly told him the latest situation.

"State jail?" Han Daoxun has also been thinking hard about how the four surnames should deal with him, the new assassin, and he really didn't expect that the four surnames would not hesitate to hand over the entire Qianyang City to the prisoners who robbed the prison riot to control, and he was shocked, and asked Han Qian in a low voice, "There are a lot of prisoners in the state prison?" ”

Han Daoxun has sorted out all aspects of the situation in Xuzhou, but he has not been detailed enough to remember how many prisoners are held in the state prison, only knowing that in Xuzhou, where the total number of people in the state is only 40,000 or 50,000, there are a lot of prisoners in the state prison.

This has a great deal to do with the salt policy practiced by the Great Chu at that time.

Dachu has implemented a strict system of official production, collection, transportation, and sales to ensure that sufficient salt profits can be obtained to make up for the shortage of military funds.

This also makes the price of salt expensive in various places.

The price of salt in Jinling was as high as 2,000 yuan per stone, and in remote areas such as Chen, Syria, etc., in order to maintain the rapidly bureaucratic and costly salt bureaucratic system, the price of salt was even more expensive to the point of 6,700,000 yuan or even tens of thousands of yuan per stone.

Although Da Chu established a strict law that anyone who sells salt privately can be decided by a single stone, and the state and county can be decided, there is still an endless stream of smuggled salt sellers from all over the country.

And remote places such as Chenxu are even more rampant and repeatedly banned.

There are not 100 but 80 smugglers of salt killed in Xuzhou every year, and those smugglers who are not enough to be executed for the time being are even more filled with state prisons.

Han Qian didn't expect the four surnames to dare to do anything in this matter, and he didn't pay much attention to the specific data involved.

Han Qian pointed to Zhang Xiaochuan, the jailer at the head of the department, and said to his father, "He should know how many prisoners are held in the state prison." ”

Han Daoxun looked at Zhang Xiaochuan, the prison officer who was looking at him suspiciously with a thin face, and his eyes were fierce, as if he wanted to cut out Zhang Xiaochuan's heart, and asked: "Before I arrived in Xuzhou, I heard that the salt offenders in Xuzhou were fierce, and Lord Wang Yu was also repeatedly banned when he was there, and the state prison was already overcrowded at this time—I don't know how many prisoners are in the state prison at this time?" ”

Han Daoxun asked a lot about the state and county during the banquet just now, and everyone was not surprised when asked about the prison prisoners at this time, but the prison officer Zhang Xiaochuan and the director of the prison made Liu Bin look up, but they woke up from the half-drunk drunkenness, and they opened their mouths, and they didn't know how to answer Han Daoxun's question like a blow.

During the whole banquet, on the grounds of not being good at drinking, there are a few people who can still stay sober and not drunk, Zhang Xiaochuan and Liu Bin are two of them.

Without Han Qian and Han Daoxun's signals, Fan Xicheng, Zhao Kuo and others had already walked behind Zhang Xiaochuan and Liu Bin, staring at their every move.

"There are 895 prisoners in the state prison, and it is true that the majority of them are salt prisoners." Xue Ruogu is the main bookkeeper, and all the documents and documents of the state government have to pass through his hands, and he knows the latest number of prisoners in the state prison, but he doesn't understand why Zhang Xiaochuan can't speak in the face of Lord Shi's question, so he arched his hand towards Han Daoxun and replied on his behalf.

Han Qian also breathed a sigh of relief, secretly thinking that nearly 900 salt traffickers who were not afraid of strict laws and strict laws, if there was a sudden prison robbery riot and let so many people rush out of the state prison, it would definitely be a catastrophe for Qianyang City, where there were just 1,000 households in Xuzhou City, and there were even less than 400 swordsmen and archers in the prefecture and county.

"This official went to Xuzhou, at this time, I invite you to drink, and you haven't gone to the state capital yamen to take a look, if you still don't feel sleepy, you will accompany this official to the state prison to see how overcrowded the state prison is......" Han Daoxun suddenly got up, and motioned to Zhang Xiaochuan, the chief prisoner, Liu Bin, and Xue Ruogu, the chief bookkeeper, to lead the way in front.

Looking at Zhang Xiaochuan's pale face, Xue Ruogu and the others realized that something was wrong.

Seeing that Han Daoxun had taken the lead in walking out of the hall, they didn't know what was wrong, and they actually made Han Daoxun go straight to the state prison late at night on the first day of his arrival, and they were worried in their hearts, so they could only follow out.

Zhang Xiaochuan and Liu Bin were scribes, but they were grabbed by the arms of Fan Xicheng and Zhao Kuo, and walked out half-dragged and half-dragged.

No anomalies were found anywhere else, even on the side of the state soldiers.

In addition to the two state soldiers stationed in the camp to send two scouts to watch, the Furong Garden was only guarded by Lin Zongjing with six family soldiers, except for the scouts and secret rooms that had been assembled near the state prison, including Feng Xuan and others, forty Jianrui were all wearing armor, holding swords and bows and had already lined up in the garden outside the west courtyard, and when they saw Han Daoxun and Han Qian's father and son coming out, they rushed towards the direction of the state prison with everyone in their arms.

Qianyang City is small, from the Furong Garden, the back house of the state capital to the state prison, only separated by two streets and alleys.

These two streets and alleys were also blocked by more than 50 people from Zuo Si scouts who withdrew one after another after nightfall, so Han Daoxun and Han Qian led people to the state prison, and no one could spread the news in advance along the way......
